Um, let's see here,
I have been looking at this website for quite a while, but I never ever ever posted here because I'm pretty shy. But now I'm working by myself in Houston for 2.5 weeks and I am so bored...so sorry in advance:
I live in Portland, OR. I am a camera operator/video editor usually for work, but at the moment I am doing the place I work for a favor and keeping an eye on a traveling exhibit. In this case it means sitting in a building lobby all day every day while very rich and busy people look at me and wonder "what the hell is this exhibit in my way for?" maybe they even wonder "that would probably suck to have to sit there in the corner all day" but I doubt it because they all work at a bank so they are probably thinking about ways to take my money.
My musical history is like this: I started cello at age 7 which I played somewhat well untill I was about 19. Along with that I played a tuba for 2 years in a highschool marching band, and bass guitar from about age 15 to 22 or so. I was in a couple of go-nowhere bands in highschool and college. I got my first synth in college as well as a mighty pentium 1 computer which ran Cool Edit Pro (version 1) very slowly. It all went downhill from there. Fast forward a bit, when I moved to Portland I left everything behind except my computer with Reason, so I used that a lot for quite a long time, but most recently I picked up a really inexpensive Nord Modular 1 rack because while I would love a "true" modular at some point, I travel a ton for my job and being able to bring Nordy and my Oxygen 8 along is really handy for long nights in sucky hotels. I also enjoy recording things with my Zoom H4 thingy.
To counteract my sitting in front of a computer all the time I do lots of hiking with my permanant girlfriend and even more whitewater kayaking without her.
Here is some sounds I made that I've posted on freesound:

and of course a Virb page since I never got myspace to work for me:

Thanks for reading/listening. | |

I've been thinking about bringing my cello out more and more lately, for a while I got really burned out on it, there was a lot of pressure on my in that regard (orchestra, solo performances etc) but I think I'm past that now. As for realeases, I'm away from my computer (this one is a work laptop) for over a week, but you can listen to my most recent song" on virb which I put up just before I went to Houston so its about a week old. And thanks for the welcome.

White Car requests you play your cello at my house so I can record it. Oh and welcome to em411. We get up early. And stay up late.

"permanent girlfriend" - thats called a wife. That's like when agnostics wimp out of atheism and claim they are still "spiritual."
(also, you kids get off of my lawn)

Too shy to post? Never heard of cyber-shyness before, the beauty of the net is noone knows who you are or if anything you say is true or serious...I'm currently "talking", fully naked with my cock in my hand surrounded by magazine cuttings of Russell Crowe. Normally I would find this very embarassing, but here, it's no problem!
